it was an achingly beautiful day, and i could just walk in the park with nothing to do.
i understood that when i eventually retire, it'll be ok.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up" - pablo picasso
This project for a family coastal residence is located on a stunning site in eastern Victoria. The design is an investigation of how an idealised conception of "house" is transformed by its context and use. The site has extraordinary qualities: harsh prevailing winds of the roaring forties; sloping site; and sublime panoramic views from cape liptrap to wilson's promontory. The residence required maximum flexibility as a beach home that could accommodate varying sleeping needs - anything from a single guest to burgeoning family summer holidays.
The sectional character of the design adopts an idealised child-like profile of a gabled house as a point of departure. However this reading of the architecture is subverted by a reorientation of the plan. The house twists to accommodate framed views and take advantage of the natural fall of the site, with two wings capturing significant views of the landscape to the east and west. These arms of the building are mediated by an ambiguous space that operates as provisional gallery, entry, veranda, storage, dining, lounging and circulation zone. This contested space engages more directly with the landscape and environment and accommodates shifting patterns of use.
Yay! Finally was able to get home from a hellish day @ work to a nice little brown box from IT. LOVE her! The makeup is wonderful. And her lips are delish.
Anyways, for all Gizzy recipients out there: "how do you guys feel about that BIG zipper?" LOL
Anyways, I hope the wait for her fellow NuFace girlies won't be too long...

Take Aim-White
Been seeing a lot of these big clouds lately. Be nice if they had rain in them though!
I have always let my camera do the work , Now I want to experiment more and decided that black and white would be good for this Beach Shot in Tenerife of the Volcanic Rock or was I on the moon ?

this was my first outdoor shoot with strobes. and, this was the setup i had asked Shep to help me with. fortunately, he always helps me with my lighting, unfortunately, i can't get him to ever sign a modeling release form. so, i hope the setup shot here is not too unsettling -- it's PG13, so you've been warned!:

The is ALWAYS something! Hmph! My Night Scape Giselle came with stains on her right hand. She also has some minor staining on her hips but that doesn't bother me as much... I tried a mix of vinegar, soap and water on the hand but it didn't work. It's worse than you'd think from the photo. Looks like I'll have to email Patient Care for a replacement. Again.

On the way to Karakul Lake, far Western China
Still amazes me how the same circulatory system is used in small cells in my body as it is in the vast expanses of desert as seen here. Maybe there was some intelligent design?
Night Scape Giselle
She’s probably my favorite ‘right-outta-the-box’ Giselle ever. I gave her some swoopy side bangs and freckles, but otherwise she’s pretty close to perfection for me. Oh, and she’s been bod swapped to a Poppy.
